The NICE guideline advised that children with FH should be identified before the age of 10, so that treatment could be started as early as possible. With the rise
in children being identified, the aim of this electronic register is to:

“I have FH, and I am very keen to get my son Cameron, tested too. Cameron is now 7, and if he does have FH I would want his treatment to start at the earliest opportunity. I think it is really important that our UK Doctors in the NHS have access to information that will help us FH families, by making sound decisions about our children. From my point of view, the more information that is available on treating children with FH, the better.”

- Monitor the effects of current and new treatments

- Provide comparative audit data

- Provide anonymised data for valid research in the field
